Police have made two arrests in an armed robbery near York University on Canada Day.
It happened near Sentinel Road and Murray Ross Parkway, which is located in the Village at York University neighborhood.
Police say a 27-year-old man was sitting in his parked car waiting for a friend to arrive when two masked suspects approached.
One of the suspects then allegedly grabbed the man by the shirt while the other pointed a gun at him.
Police say both suspects demanded the man get out of the vehicle. After he complied, they jumped into his car and fled the scene, according to police.
Members of the Apprehension Squad were able to identify the suspects through investigation and about a week later, on July 7, both were taken into custody.
Police said a loaded gun was seized during their arrest.
Javon Levers, 18, of Toronto, faces 22 charges, including robbery with a firearm. The second suspect, a 17-year-old boy from Toronto, faces 16 charges. He cannot be identified under the terms of the Youth Criminal Justice Act.
